Coming up on a year folks! My sponsor still tells me I am insane... lol, we are working step 8 at the moment.
Tonight I have a girl coming over... a hot Brazilian chick! She is a normy, so it should be interesting to see how she reacts to me not drinking. I am not concerned about me personally picking up or anything, but we are going out to dinner, and I told her I don't drink at all, so I am interested to see if she pushes the issue. It will be with some of her friends at Chili's, so it should be fun. I will let you all know how it goes.
On the work front, my mom offered me a job, and I have an interview on Monday with some Wallstreet investment group... so yea, I have options and my life is good today. I decided that the call center job was a dead end, and was holding me back, so I quit. (i talked to my sponsor first! and his sponsor!) So yea, I left that job, and am focusing on something that will bring me more security in the future, something I enjoy doing. I basically settled for a job I was over qualified for and it was hampering my search for the job I really wanted.
Now that I quit, I have way more time for AA meetings and am back on my regular schedule! I am so excited for that! So yea, everything is good and I shall keep you all up to date!
Peace

Today
Today was a grande day, went to work, hung out with a friend at starbucks afterwards, and then came home.
Really not much to report... ;(
I do wish my life was a bit more exciting!
On the sobriety. front, I felt a bit disconnected today, not really in the dumps or anything, just no socialable. So I called a friend and asked him if he'd meet me at starbucks after work to gab a bit. I am very grateful he did so, because he has to work early in the morning, and I got off work at 10pm.
After thanking him for the nice long talk, we parted ways and I expressed my gratitude for him being there for me!
This is what staying sober is to me. Staying connected, reaching out, and like my friend did, being there for one and other.

Day number... 280!
So I went to work today, fun stuff let me tell you. I accepted a job that pays less than half of what I use to make, just so I can pay the bills... I feel out of sorts doing this type of work, as it is humbling if ya know what I mean.
Sometimes I wonder if I should just quit this job and look full time for a higher paying job... more along the lines of what I like to do... but ya know, I actually enjoy this job, so I don't mind staying here for as long as it takes... the hours and work days suck the though, so that is why I really want to find an 8-5er...
Anyhow, life is fairly good today, just wish I could get back to a normal schedule soon... I don't like working till 10pm! Plus my meeting schedule is miffed up, tomorrow I shall try to get to my first noon meeting before work. I will let you know how that goes!
Wish me luck, I really need to get off my ass and go to early meetings!
Peace...
Today I am grateful.for:
My roommate
My kitty cats
My mom, dad
My bro, sis, sis-inlaw
My job
My damn kick ass sexy body, yes it has gotten sexier!! (working out a ton!)
Funny thing when you get sober you lose wait, or atleast i did... guess it depends on what your habits were...
Anywhoooo...
Peace...

9 Months and counting!
I picked up my 9 month chip last week folks! Yea ME!!!! Ok, so what's new... been working this job lately, 1-10pm hours, Wed, and Fri off... and it's driving me nuts, but I need to pay the bills if you know what I mean!
I have been interviewing lately and have a couple really good prospects at a couple really good companies! So we shall keep our fingers crossed!
My older brother got married a few weeks ago, and I stayed sober through the wedding, pat on the back for me! Not much else is new. Lately, to be honest, my meetings have slipped a bit do to the hours, although it is probably more my fault because I am scared to go to different meetings! So I am going to make a commitment here to go to more meetings, I still have my coffee commitments and have been staying connected to all of my friends in AA, real life is a bitch since I have been so busy with interviews, jobs, and family.
Sobriety.comes first though, so I am going to get back on track and make more meetings, 2 a week is not cutting it and I have no excuse. I have you guys and AA to thank for my sobriety today, and I am so very grateful for that. I actually have been functioning quite well out there in the real world, you guys would be so proud!
I am going to try to get back into this blogging again. So stay posted, I shall keep you up to date! Wish me luck on the job hunt, I want my normal schedule back, more for my AA meetings and friends then anything.
